LET'S GET ACQUAINTED
o A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEY
You will find a small metal tag attached to each set of keys. Stamped on this tag is an
identifying number which you should record
so that in the event of loss you can order
dup!icate keys from your dealer or a reputable locksmith. After recording the numbers, the tag should be destroyed. I f you did not
receive a tag with your keys, ask your dealer to give you the numbers.
LET' GET ACQUAINTED
Take your seat behind the wheel and with the aid of this manual we suggest you famil
iarize yourself with the many features bUilt
into your new car.
The first thing you may want to do is adjust
the front seat to your liking and move the rear-view mirror for safe visibility.
e EAT ADJU TMENT (manual).
The adjusting lever, located at the left of the front seat cushion, at your left hand near the
floor, releases the seat so you can slide it forward or backward with your body weight
to the position that's most suitable. It will lock in the new position when the lever is released. See page I7 for adjustment of power seal.
REAR-VIEW MIRROR
The ball-and-socket mounting of this mirror prevents vibration, yet adjusts easily. Its central location enables you to view traffic
conditions with a quick, safe glance.
Resulting color mav rub off and webbing strength may be affected.
o Adjustable Steering Wheel. Steering wheel can be moved to any of seven different positions. It can be moved away from the lap area when entering or leaving the car. It can be adjusted to suit the comfort of any SIZe driver. Changing the wheel position on long trips helps relieve fatigue. To adjust the wheel, simply hft up the small lever adjacent to the turn signal control, move the wheel up or down, as desired, and release the lever to lock the wheel firmly in place. Wheel position may be changed while driving.
~ Prismatic Day and Night Mirror. Annoy-ing and dangerous headlight glare-back when driving at night can be elimmated by moving the small lever under the mirror, pictured here. o Six-Way Custom Seat Adjustment. Your front seat track can easily be adjusted In a variety of positions by your Dealer or yourself to suit your personal requirements. It will adjust forward or back, up or down and its tilt can be changed to provide maximum comfort. The manual seat movement
lever may still be used to obtain the desired forward or backward positions.
Q Parking Brake Warning S ignal. Red light in parking brake release lever blinks red when engine is running with parking brake on. Prevents unnecessary brake wear.
Emergency Warning Flasher. This flasher system protects you during emergency stops on the highway at night. By pu lIing a switch on the instrument panel, front' and rear directiona I signals flash intermittently to warn on-coming cars in both lanes. Flasher will operate with the ignition off, permitting driver \0 lock car in the event it is necessary to leave for assistance.
41) Ash Receivers and Lighter. Separate ash receivers for driver and passenger are provided on the lower edge of the instrument panel. Pressure on the tab at the rear enables the ash receiver to be removed for cleaning. On some models an ash receiver is Installed on the front seat back lor the convenience of rear seat passengers.
A lighter is located next to the driver's ash receiver. Push in the knob, but don't hold it. When heated, it will pop out automatically. An ash receiver in Monaco models is provided in rear end of Console.
